Covid-19 Vaccine Research

Bharat Biotech has added the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) as co-owner of the Covid-19 vaccine patent.

AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine, made in collaboration with Oxford University has been found to raise the risk of vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (VITT) -- a rare but fatal blood clotting disorder, claimed researchers today.

Researchers have examined a man in Germany who claims to have received 217 vaccinations against COVID-19 and found that his immune system was fully functional.

A study conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has observed that COVID-19 vaccination did not increase the risk of unexplained sudden death among young adults in India, the government informed Parliament on Friday.

COVID-19 caused an alarming surge in premature births, but vaccines were key to returning the early birth rate to pre-pandemic levels, researchers have found analysing birth records in California, US.

Indian researchers found no evidence that COVID-19 vaccination was behind "unexplained sudden deaths", a medical organisation said on Tuesday, instead pointing to the disease itself, binge drinking and intense exercise as risk factors.

The research, published recently in the journal PLOS One, determined the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on mortality following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or heart attack.

Mansukh Manadaviya said that the world's first intranasal vaccine for Covid-19 iNCOVACC launched is a testimony to the innovative zeal of our scientists and a display of India's research and innovation prowess under the leadership of PM Modi.

Dr Raman Gangakhedkar, former head of epidemiology and communicable diseases at the Indian Council of Medical Research, has discounted the need for the fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccine given the current evidence about the coronavirus and its variants.

The Union Health Ministry said media reports claiming admission of 'multiple side-effects of COVID-19 vaccines' by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) officials are ill-informed.

The booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine is safe, according to a study published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine that monitored heart measures through smartwatches. Researchers at Tel Aviv University equipped close to 5,000 Israelis with smartwatches.

Twitter has rolled back its COVID-19 misinformation policy, as public health experts and researchers have expressed concern that the change would have major repercussions as the virus continues to spread and vaccination numbers remain low. The company's new CEO, Elon Musk, has signalled an interest in rolling back many of Twitter's previous rules m...

Infosys founder N R Narayana Murthy on Tuesday said the country faces huge challenges in the field of research in sciences despite the country achieving the feat of producing COVID-19 vaccine and inoculating the people of the country.

Research has revealed that people who consume a lot of news on social media are more hesitant about getting vaccinated and more likely to be sceptical of COVID-19 vaccines, while users with higher levels of news literacy have more confidence in COVID-19 shots. Here's how understanding how news works can short-circuit the connection between social m...

Researchers have developed an intranasal anti-viral treatment for COVID-19 that decreases the amount of SARS-CoV-2 shed from infected animals and limits transmission of the virus.
